This is the Digipak of You Me At Six-Sinners Never Sleep.
You Me Six are a pop-rock/punk band. As we can see, the digipak is in black and
white and no other colour at all, even though this makes it rather dull, it is
rather effective as we can easily see all the different line and contours of
the shapes and letters. This is an effective digipak as it appeals to its
audience as the image is clear. Also, it obeys the conventions of a digipak as
it is Six panels, The inside consists of pictures of the band, holding plaques
that say their names on them, this makes it an effective way to introduce the
band as well as showing everything about them. However, there is a distinct lack
of band information as well as lacking other similar things. However, the conventions
of, Front cover, track list and pictures are still there. This digipak
represents the band as pop-rock/punk because of the dull colours used as well
as the pictures of the band and their costume fitting in with the genre as well
as appealing to the audience, which is teens and young adults due to the fact
that the audience will possibly wear similar clothing. This represents the band
as younger and new, as the genre is about.
The meaning of this digipak is to show a rebellious side of
music, such as represented by the front cover which is a board that is often
held by criminals when they went to prison for their mug shots, this shows it
as somewhat against popular culture as well as against certain aspects of
society.
